That is why I wouldn't be able to become vegan or vegetarian. Mcdonalds and stuff like that is life.

I eat McDonalds on the daily. It's going to be a struggle.

I will. I normally feel pretty shitty anyways because I mostly eat fast food. It shouldn't be much of a problem making the change, at least in that sense.

Yeah hopefully you see it through, btw that video is fucked up... :L

Thinking about that video everytime I want a burger should be able to convince me otherwise.

That's nature, bud. No matter which way you want to put it, we're made to eat meat. That's the way the ecosystem runs. If you don't like it, do as @"cann!bal" suggested, and protest the corporations that run the industry, not meat in itself. You're not forced solely to eat processed meat either, I gaurantee if you looked hard enough, you could find meat prepared in a much more resonable method. Hell, if you wanted, you could live off hunting.

Although I would never consider doing this myself, I admire your will power, as I'd never come close if I tried. You shouldn't look down on people sho don't agree with you though, same for the other way around.

We're not made to eat meat. Like I said, 'Humans evolved to be omnivores, meaning we can sustain ourselves healthily on both plants or animals. We do not need to have meat in our diets to live healthily.'

I don't see how any could possibly do this to anyone or thing? This is cruel and inhumane.

Yes. However, we are made to eat it. I'm not stating this in this sense that that's what we're here on earth to do, and must to survive. This is just how we are, we're designed to process both. A good balance of each is the ideal diet for our kind.

We are not designed. We are the product of millions of years of genetic mutations and natural selections. We do not need to eat meat to have a healthy diet. We need nutrients found in meat, but they can be obtained from other source, not just meat.

I know. I actually originally covered this in my post, before erasing it due to feeling it unnecessary. Of course we can get these things in other ways now, due to scientific discoveries. This hasn't always been true. I never did say it was necessary, I said ideal, there is a difference. As for the relious aspect, fuck that, not going into it. Aha.

In the future people will look back at slaughterhouses and what we do to these animals and wonder why we didn't stop it.

On the other hand, without slaughterhouses these animals wouldn't even exist.

What are you talking about? What do you mean by your last statement?

We bred these animals to be our food. In the wild they wouldn't exist, so I suppose it's a kind of cruel salvation.

Edit: They would exist, but they wouldn't look like they do now. They'd be skinnier etc.

That video was unbelievably disturbing. I don't know how that could even be allowed on youtube. That's a video I would expect to find on BestGore... I can't lie, I'll be eating meat until I die. But I am far from okay with their methods.

I see your point on why you want to,but its kinda hard for me since I was raised on eating fried foods and meat and stuff.I'm currently trying to stop eating red meats,pork,and fried foods,but I still eat chicken as well as more green foods.

I respect what you're doing, as my mom is a vegetarian.
She purely doesn't eat meat because she feels bad for the animals.
I've always been fine with whatever I eat, but I'm far from okay with what happens to the animals.
As of the last 8 nearly 9 months I've been working at McDonald's, which is awkward considering how notorious they are for cruelty to animals, for those of you who remember Super size me, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

The conditions animals are going through especially in the fast food corporations is disgusting and sick, I completely know where you're coming from, but in reality, where will not eating meat get you in the long run? Instead of attempting what appears to be a boycotting of meat products, which won't do much as the marketing of meat is way to active, try to form a petition on cleaning up where the animals are stored and how they're treated.

I remember seeing the petition for sending Justin B. to Canada, why I bring that up is look how many signatures that got? Hundreds and hundreds of thousands if not a few million. If you're disgusted with unethical treatment of animals, make a petition and try to make something happen about it, I can assure you millions of people including myself are on the same boat as you, what they do to the animals is completely unethical.

Again, please keep in mind that I type this all with respect to what you're doing. I just suggest maybe taking different approaches upon the matter. Maybe get meat from certain companies/corporations, and stay away from others. There are probably several different methods one can go about staying away from such treatment to animals.

Whether you stick to it or not, I applaud you for the post.

I totally agree with you as you should eat meat here and there and it won't do anything to the industry if you don't eat it. Also, I remember supersize me, everyone in my class become ANTI-MCDONALDS for 6 months

I realize my boycott will do almost nothing, but I refuse to support such a cruel industry. Whether or not it has an effect, it feels good to know that I am not participating or supporting the cruelty.

Well the human body thrives on a plant based diet. Much more so than someone who eats meat.
